For me, the golden or even diamond button is that there are so many subscribers, but maybe we can squeeze more. It’s very good, democracy is finally coming under the roof, to our TVs, computers and smartphones. It should be. The place where we are is not a museum of democracy, democracy is supposed to be alive here – he said.
